List of Equipment Supply

Coil Loading → Decoiling → Shear & Butt Welding → Floor-Type Loop Accumulator → Free Forming → HF Welding → Deburring → Spray Cooling → Sizing → Flying Saw Cutting → Straightening → Hydrostatic Testing → Oiling/Painting → Auto Bundling

Step	Function Description
1. Coil Car	Transfers steel coils from the ground to the uncoiler position using hydraulic drive; ensures safe loading.
2. Hydraulic Uncoiler	Expands and feeds the steel strip steadily with tension control, preparing it for forming.
3. Shear & Butt Welder	Shears the strip tail and welds the next coil head for uninterrupted strip feeding without stopping the line.
4. Floor-Type Accumulator	Temporarily stores steel strip during coil change to ensure continuous line operation.
5. Forming Mill	Gradually bends the flat strip into an open pipe shape using multiple forming roll stands.
6. High-Frequency Welder	Heats the strip edges by induction and forms a solid longitudinal weld through pressure squeezing.
7. Deburring Unit	Removes internal and external weld flash to improve the pipe’s surface quality and ensure safety.
8. Spray Cooling System	Rapidly cools the weld seam and entire pipe to control thermal deformation and stabilize dimensions.
9. Sizing Mill	Precisely calibrates the pipe’s diameter, roundness, and shape; supports round-to-square forming.
10. Flying Saw Cutter	Cuts pipes into preset lengths with real-time synchronization; supports hot saw, cold saw, or milling cutter.
11. Pipe Straightening Machine	Corrects axial deformation to improve straightness and prepare pipes for stacking or further processing.
12. Hydrostatic Tester	Pressurizes the pipe with water to verify sealing and pressure resistance, meeting API and structural standards.
13. Oiling / Painting System	Applies anti-rust oil or spray paint to enhance corrosion protection and appearance.
14. Automatic Stacker & Strapper	Automatically aligns, counts, stacks, and straps finished pipes for efficient packaging and logistics.
